'Law & Order: SVU' actor Richard Belzer dies at 78

Actor Richard Belzer, a core member of the "Law & Order" network behemoth, has died at age 78.

He was known for sporting his tinted glasses and doling out his cynical takes as Detective John Munch on the franchise's "Law & Order: SVU" spinoff, which has aired for a record-breaking 24 years and remains one of the most watched programs on television.

Belzer's death was announced by friends and Hollywood peers on social media, who shared memories from the actor's long career. No further information on his passing has been released, other than a statement to The Hollywood Reporter that he had suffered from "lots of health issues."

In a statement to Variety, show creator Dick Wolf said, "Richard Belzer’s Detective John Munch is one of television’s iconic characters... Richard brought humor and joy into all our lives, was the consummate professional and we will all miss him very much.”

The role of Detective Munch was history-making in its own right — Munch appeared in more television series (nine total) than any other fictional character. Belzer played the role for 21 years, originating the acerbic detective on the 1993 show Homicide: Life on the Street. Belzer departed from the role on "SVU" in 2013, but briefly returned to the show in 2016 and continued a series of guest spots across a variety of shows. Prior to his detective role, Belzer was known for his comedic talents as both an actor and stand-up comedian.

While long-time fans mourn the "Law & Order" loss, Belzer's friend and writer Bill Scheft said he left the world with one final Munch-ian line: "Fuck you, motherfucker."

Web3 developer activity spiked in Q4 2022 despite market volatility

Web3 developer activity still grew in the last quarter of 2022, according to a new report, despite crypto market volatility and stacks of negative headlines. Ethereum, one of the largest layer-1 (L1) blockchains in the crypto ecosystem, had a 453% increase in mainnet smart contract deployments in the fourth quarter of 2022, signaling high developer momentum amid crypto market volatility, according to Alchemy’s Web3 Development Report . “As we saw in Q3 as well, web3 devs are long-term committed to building out this ecosystem because they believe in the technology,” Jason Shah, head of growth at Alchemy, said to TechCrunch. “That durable belief, paired with more reliable infrastructure, better tooling and increasing consumer adoption every quarter, is compelling devs to dig their heels in despite unfavorable market conditions.” The global market capitalization of the crypto market has fallen from over $2 trillion at the beginning of 2022 to about $800 billion by the end of the year,
